Hints and tip for Football Manager 06

Cheap buys

Leo Messi (AM, left/centre) 18 - you can usually buy him for around �4 million with a decent premiership club (top half finisher). You can play him left midfield but I would play him just behind a lone striker.

Tomas Sivok (DM) 21 - this guy costs you about �2.8 million and you can get him with nearly every premiership team. I wouldnt buy him for chelsea/arsenal/man you though.

Rodrigo Palacio (ST) 23 - this player is truly amazing and I would sign him for any club in the premiership, he costs around 3 million and is a 30 goal a season man. I did manage to sign him for crystal palace once aswell.

Dudu cearense ( DM/M right/centre) 22 - this guy is on a free at the start of the game but watch out bids do fly in. You can sign this guy for any team in league one upwards.the weird thing is he rejects offers from big clubs to come to your low league team. He doesnt ask for much wage either.(dont get mixed up with another Dudu cearense, he is at CSKA Mosksow, theyre nearly the same)

Anthony Silva (GK) 21- this GK is one of the more unrealistic buys of FM. I usually sign him at a league one club, but I would sign him at a premiership culb aswell. His stats arent that good at the start but they soon improve. He costs around 6k and asks for about �325 per week. He fails a work permit at the start but gets a succesfull appeal. I oncve signed him for accrington stanley(god knows how) and I got them promoted twice in a row. He also got in the paragauyan squad and became worth �750K.(not bad for conference) top clubs like villareal and everton become interested in him, but I didnt sell him.
